14 CFR Part 95
[Docket No. 31417; Amdt. No. 564]
IFR Altitudes; Miscellaneous
Amendments
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This document adopts
miscellaneous amendments to the
required IFR (instrument flight rules)
altitudes and changeover points for
certain Federal airways, jet routes, or
direct routes for which a minimum or
maximum en route authorized IFR
altitude is prescribed. This regulatory
action is needed because of changes
occurring in the National Airspace
System. These changes are designed to
provide for the safe and efficient use of
the navigable airspace under instrument
conditions in the affected areas.
DATES: 0901 UTC, effective March 24,
2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
amendment to part 95 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 95)
amends, suspends, or revokes IFR
altitudes governing the operation of all
aircraft in flight over a specified route
or any portion of that route, as well as
the changeover points (COPs) for
E:\FR\FM\01MRR1.SGM
01MRR1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 40 / Tuesday, March 1, 2022 / Rules and Regulations
Federal airways, jet routes, or direct
routes as prescribed in part 95.
The Rule
The specified IFR altitudes, when
used in conjunction with the prescribed
changeover points for those routes,
ensure navigation aid coverage that is
adequate for safe flight operations and
free of frequency interference. The
reasons and circumstances that create
the need for this amendment involve
matters of flight safety and operational
efficiency in the National Airspace
System, are related to published
aeronautical charts that are essential to
the user, and provide for the safe and
efficient use of the navigable airspace.
In addition, those various reasons or
circumstances require making this
amendment effective before the next
scheduled charting and publication date
of the flight information to assure its
timely availability to the user. The
effective date of this amendment reflects
those considerations. In view of the
close and immediate relationship
between these regulatory changes and
11291
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 95
safety in air commerce, I find that notice
and public procedure before adopting
this amendment are impracticable and
contrary to the public interest and that
good cause exists for making the
amendment effective in less than 30
days.

Conclusion
The FAA has determined that this
regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which
frequent and routine amendments are
necessary to keep them operationally
current. It, therefore—(1) is not a
‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a
‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44
FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3)
does not warrant preparation of a
regulatory evaluation as the anticipated
impact is so minimal. For the same
reason, the FAA certifies that this
amendment will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Adoption of the Amendment
Accordingly, pursuant to the
authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, part 95 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 95) is
amended as follows effective at 0901
UTC, March 24, 2022.

Medical Devices; Orthopedic Devices;
Classification of the Screw Sleeve
Bone Fixation Device
AGENCY:
Food and Drug Administration,
HHS.
ACTION:
Final amendment; final order.
The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA, Agency, or we) is
classifying the screw sleeve bone
fixation device into class II (special
controls). The special controls that
apply to the device type are identified
in this order and will be part of the
codified language for the screw sleeve
bone fixation device’s classification. We
are taking this action because we have
determined that classifying the device
into class II (special controls) will
provide a reasonable assurance of safety
and effectiveness of the device. We
believe this action will also enhance
patients’ access to beneficial innovative
devices.
DATES:
This order is effective March 1, 2022.
The classification was applicable on
May 1, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with RULES1
I. Background
Upon request, FDA has classified the
screw sleeve bone fixation device as
class II (special controls), which we
have determined will provide a
reasonable assurance of safety and
effectiveness. In addition, we believe
this action will enhance patients’ access
to beneficial innovation, by placing the
device into a lower device class than the
automatic class III assignment.
The automatic assignment of class III
occurs by operation of law and without
any action by FDA, regardless of the
level of risk posed by the new device.
Any device that was not in commercial
distribution before May 28, 1976, is
automatically classified as, and remains
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:32 Feb 28, 2022
Jkt 256001
within, class III and requires premarket
approval unless and until FDA takes an
action to classify or reclassify the device
(see 21 U.S.C. 360c(f)(1)). We refer to
these devices as ‘‘postamendments
devices’’ because they were not in
commercial distribution prior to the
date of enactment of the Medical Device
Amendments of 1976, which amended
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (FD&C Act).
FDA may take a variety of actions in
appropriate circumstances to classify or
reclassify a device into class I or II. We
may issue an order finding a new device
to be substantially equivalent under
section 513(i) of the FD&C Act (21
U.S.C. 360c(i)) to a predicate device that
does not require premarket approval.
We determine whether a new device is
substantially equivalent to a predicate
device by means of the procedures for
premarket notification under section
510(k) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C.
360(k)) and part 807 (21 CFR part 807).
FDA may also classify a device
through ‘‘De Novo’’ classification, a
common name for the process
authorized under section 513(f)(2) of the
FD&C Act. Section 207 of the Food and
Drug Administration Modernization Act
of 1997 (Pub. L. 105–115) established
the first procedure for De Novo
classification. Section 607 of the Food
and Drug Administration Safety and
Innovation Act (Pub. L. 112–144)
modified the De Novo application
process by adding a second procedure.
A device sponsor may utilize either
procedure for De Novo classification.
Under the first procedure, the person
submits a 510(k) for a device that has
not previously been classified. After
receiving an order from FDA classifying
the device into class III under section
513(f)(1) of the FD&C Act, the person
then requests a classification under
section 513(f)(2).
Under the second procedure, rather
than first submitting a 510(k) and then
a request for classification, if the person
determines that there is no legally
marketed device upon which to base a
determination of substantial
equivalence, that person requests a
classification under section 513(f)(2) of
the FD&C Act.
Under either procedure for De Novo
classification, FDA is required to
classify the device by written order
within 120 days. The classification will
be according to the criteria under
section 513(a)(1) of the FD&C Act.
Although the device was automatically
placed within class III, the De Novo
classification is considered to be the
initial classification of the device.
When FDA classifies a device into
class I or II via the De Novo process, the
PO 00000
Frm 00019
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
11293
device can serve as a predicate for
future devices of that type, including for
510(k)s (see section 513(f)(2)(B)(i) of the
FD&C Act). As a result, other device
sponsors do not have to submit a De
Novo request or premarket approval
application to market a substantially
equivalent device (see section 513(i) of
the FD&C Act, defining ‘‘substantial
equivalence’’). Instead, sponsors can use
the less-burdensome 510(k) process,
when necessary, to market their device.
II. De Novo Classification
On December 13, 2018, FDA received
Woven Orthopedic Technologies, LLC’s
request for De Novo classification of the
OGmend® Implant System. FDA
reviewed the request in order to classify
the device under the criteria for
classification set forth in section
513(a)(1) of the FD&C Act.
We classify devices into class II if
general controls by themselves are
insufficient to provide reasonable
assurance of safety and effectiveness,
but there is sufficient information to
establish special controls that, in
combination with the general controls,
provide reasonable assurance of the
safety and effectiveness of the device for
its intended use (see 21 U.S.C.
360c(a)(1)(B)). After review of the
information submitted in the request,
we determined that the device can be
classified into class II with the
establishment of special controls. FDA
has determined that these special
controls, in addition to the general
controls, will provide reasonable
assurance of the safety and effectiveness
of the device.
Therefore, on May 1, 2020, FDA
issued an order to the requester
classifying the device into class II. In
this final order, FDA is codifying the
classification of the device by adding 21
CFR 888.3043.1 We have named the
generic type of device ‘‘screw sleeve
bone fixation device,’’ and it is intended
to be implanted in conjunction with a
non-resorbable, metallic bone screw
where the screw has lost purchase due
to loosening, backout, or breakage. The
device fits between the screw threads
and surrounding bone and provides
increased surface area to create an
1 FDA notes that the ‘‘ACTION’’ caption for this
final order is styled as ‘‘Final amendment; final
order,’’ rather than ‘‘Final order.’’ Beginning in
December 2019, this editorial change was made to
indicate that the document ‘‘amends’’ the Code of
Federal Regulations. The change was made in
accordance with the Office of Federal Register’s
(OFR) interpretations of the Federal Register Act (44
U.S.C. chapter 15), its implementing regulations (1
CFR 5.9 and parts 21 and 22), and the Document

14 CFR Part 95
[Docket No. 31417; Amdt. No. 564]
IFR Altitudes; Miscellaneous Amendments
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document adopts miscellaneous amendments to the required
IFR (instrument flight rules) altitudes and changeover points for
certain Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes for which a
minimum or maximum en route authorized IFR altitude is prescribed. This
regulatory action is needed because of changes occurring in the
National Airspace System. These changes are designed to provide for the
safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace under instrument
conditions in the affected areas.
DATES: 0901 UTC, effective March 24, 2022.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas J. Nichols, Flight Procedures
and Airspace Group, Flight Technologies and Procedures Division, Flight
Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration. Mailing Address:
FAA Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, Flight Procedures and Airspace
Group, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Registry Bldg. 29 Room 104, Oklahoma
City, OK 73125. Telephone: (405) 954-4164.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment to part 95 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 95) amends, suspends, or revokes IFR
altitudes governing the operation of all aircraft in flight over a
specified route or any portion of that route, as well as the changeover
points (COPs) for
[[Page 11291]]
Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes as prescribed in part 95.
The Rule
The specified IFR altitudes, when used in conjunction with the
prescribed changeover points for those routes, ensure navigation aid
coverage that is adequate for safe flight operations and free of
frequency interference. The reasons and circumstances that create the
need for this amendment involve matters of flight safety and
operational efficiency in the National Airspace System, are related to
published aeronautical charts that are essential to the user, and
provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace. In
addition, those various reasons or circumstances require making this
amendment effective before the next scheduled charting and publication
date of the flight information to assure its timely availability to the
user. The effective date of this amendment reflects those
considerations. In view of the close and immediate relationship between
these regulatory changes and safety in air commerce, I find that notice
and public procedure before adopting this amendment are impracticable
and contrary to the public interest and that good cause exists for
making the amendment effective in less than 30 days.
Conclusion
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
